[PD] metro help patch misnamed?

[Miller Puckette]

I dropped support in 0.46 for having the help file have the same name
as the object name (because it gets confusing for abstractions).  It was
a mistake that the metro help file was named without the "-help".  I'm fixing
that for the upcoming 0.46-2.

cheers
